screenshot of key creation failure error message "structure needs cleaning"

Hello, I'm not the most technically savvy user but hoping I can get assistance
or guidance. I've been using Tails sparingly for a couple years, encrypting
messages with OpenPGP and had a small collection of users public keys imported
as well as my own private key. A few months ago with an upgrade to Tails I
started using Kleopatra which was working well, then a couple weeks ago I went
to encrypt a message and found that both my PGP key and all public keys were
gone and no longer discoverable. I had not upgraded Tails in between it working
and no longer working, so it was seemingly random. I've tried creating a new
key and it fails with the message "Could not create key pair: Structure needs
cleaning", and attempting to import a user's public key does not succeed.

Tails: 5.5 - 20221013
Kleopatra 3.1.11 (20.08.3)

Steps to recreate in Kleopatra: 
1. File > New Key Pair... 
2. Choose Format = Create a personal OpenPGP key pair 
3. Added a name, clicked Next 
4. Review Parameters, clicked Create 
5. Entered password twice 
6. Observed Result = Key Creation Failed, "Could not create key pair. Structure
needs cleaning"

Steps for importing: 
1. Copy user's public key, paste in Text Editor, save as .asc file in
persistent drive. 
2. Go into Kleopatra > Import > navigate to .asc file and select to import 
3. Observed Result = Results window pops up, "Total number processed: 0,
Imported: 0"

I would really appreciate any help figuring out why this is happening. Please
let me know if you need more information from me to identify the issue, thank
you!!
